Table 1 Installation (continued)
Installation
(continued)
Insert the air cylinder into the sample block base. It should slide into the block
easily and settle at the bottom of the bore.
Insert the weighing pan into the air cylinder.
Sample cup and lower block assembly
NOTE: These parts should remain in the instrument continually and are only to be
removed for maintenance.
Test Scale Stability
Select the Configuration tab.
Select Diagnostics.
Press Enter.
Scroll down, highlight Diagnostics, and press the Enter button.
Scroll down to the screen that shows the weight. Readings should vary no more
than 0.5 mg, once the scale has stabilized.
Lightly tap the table with one finger.
If the readings vary more than 0.5 mg after tapping, the table holding the VSA
is probably too unstable for accurate weight readings during a test. Shore up
the table or find another location for the equipment.
NOTE: Contact the AQUALAB distributor if the scale readings are unstable after placing
the unit on a stable structure.
